Nasturtium Black Velvet

Black Velvet Nasturtium seeds produce compact plants featuring dramatic mahogany-red blooms so deep they appear nearly black, creating striking contrast against the blue-green foliage. This bushy variety reaches 12-16 inches tall with a similar spread, displaying the characteristic round, lily pad-like leaves. Both flowers and foliage are edible, offering a peppery flavor profile for culinary applications. Thrives in full sun to partial shade with poor to average soil—excessive fertility reduces flowering. Direct sow after frost danger has passed. Ideal for dramatic color schemes, containers, and edible landscapes where their unique coloration provides sophisticated visual impact.
